  • Identity and Address verification will always be required for approval.

 

2 Options for Identity and Address Verification:

  • Option 1: Traditional Verification

    • Your team collect the Proof of ID and Proof of Address documents from the client and submit documents to IBKR.

    • Processing Time: IBKR has a ‘follow the sun’ model with operators located globally and constantly reviewing and processing supporting documents for new applications. Documents typically processed within 24 hours. Meaning, accounts are approved/opened within 24 hours of the supporting documents being accepted by IBKR.

      • Causes for delays could be unsupported doc type is submitted or image received is blurry/too dark

    • Registration Tasks:
      • 8001: Proof of Identity (POI)
      • 8002: Proof of Address (POA)
      • Important to note: For IB-HK Non-Disclosed (QI and NonQI) clients, we only require Proof of Identity (8001).

  • Option 2: Instant Verification

    • Opt to allow clients to verify using Au10tix (third-party application used to verify client’s identity /geo location). If Trulioo is NoMatch, IBKR will pass unique URL which can be used to connect user to Au10Tix to complete verification.

      • Embed a link into their application or provide a QR code for the client to follow directly via their smartphone

      • User will complete consent message verifying they are OK for Au10Tix to capture Biometric information.

        • If user consents, they will be prompted to take photos of the front and back of their ID’s and take a selfie.

          • Au10Tix will process information and complete ID verification.

            • If Au10Tix verification fails; user will be required to complete ‘Traditional Verification) and Provide a Proof of Address and Proof of Identity Document.

        • If user declines consent, they will be prompted to complete Traditional Verification

    • Processing Time: Real-Time verification is completed- if Au10Tix verification passes; account will be approved/opened (Real-Time).
